SPOILERS - Kaidan - Survival Mode Integration Preview

So this video shows Kaidan reacting to player's hunger/exhaustion/thirst level. I'm still playing around with the frequency as it's a fine line between him being concerned for DB's welfare and just being fucking annoying so hopefully we'll get there soon. Compatibility will be with either Sunhelm, Last Seed, iNeed or CC Survival. Last Seed and iNeed will also have him commenting when he doesn't have enough water/food/gold.

[@Caldara1]

this is sooo good. your animations fleshes out kaidan. makes him feel more real. you have done a wonderful job.

[@hanshotfirst5576]

thank you 💖

[@deaddragonskull]

These animations are pushing me closer to finally sitting down and migrate to PC skyrim. Your Kaidan animations are so soft and sweet and UGH I love him so much

[@hanshotfirst5576]

glad u like em 💕 theres a porter called Spectromance who actually got all the Immersive Features animations over to xbox. I'm assuming (potentially incorrectly as i know sfa about porting) that they'd be able to do these ones too.

[@bethmorton6540]

This is so cool! Honestly you’re truly out doing yourself, I love everything you’ve done for the Kaidan mod!

[@hanshotfirst5576]

thank you! 😙

[@mythicalsongtress8177]

Gosh the modding community has done such a great job on this character. He feels so much like a real person it’s scary. I hope to see more followers like him in the future.

[@mikulina7985]

Literally took everything i liked from the bishop mod and putting it onto better written, not a creep, and absolutely hunk of a man kaidan. great work!

[@ksespeedfox]

I can't believe I just now saw this. I love it so much, so sweet and thoughtful. :)

[@hanshotfirst5576]

Thank you, im glad you like it xx

[@bear7722]

When he started singing the toss a coin…😂❤

[@shadowmonster9129]

Bruh that transition on 3:25 was so smooth, I thought the moment you stepped in Kai’s tent it was like full fucking house.

[@HelloSunbeam]

how did I only just find this now?? I am SO excited for this! It will make going back to PC from VR just that much sweeter

[@maryjaneteeters3243]

I love him so much😭😍

[@hanshotfirst5576]

me too. who wouldnt, hes lovely.

[@Angie-hn1ls]

This is truly phenomenal! I wish to thank you and the whole team for all your hard work and amazing mods you are making for the players. Also, I would like to ask you, is it possible to port this and your beautiful Immersive Features animations to LE for us who still play Oldrim? I wish you all the best and please keep up the great work!

[@hanshotfirst5576]

I'm gonna try. I dont own LE but hopefully I can find someone who can port it.

[@vicnick3393]

Incredible! Love this!

[@hanshotfirst5576]

thank you xxx

[@vadrelle3494]

So I'll be playing with survivor mode more often. So awesome. 👌

[@hanshotfirst5576]

well. you actually dont strictly need it. the base survival mod doesnt have any prerequisites but if you want him to respond to your needs then you'll need either last seed, ineed, sunhelm or cc survival.

[@vadrelle3494]

@hanshotfirst5576 Most definitely Sunhelm.

[@shototodoroki1604]

Thats it! Im gonna start saving for a decent laptop and add ons so it can process the hell im gonna put it threw once i can get my grubby, degenerate paws on skyrim and the kaidan mod, i first played the mod when it first came out, and so far im seeing that its gotten so much better! Hes so much more immersive, like he belongs in the game and like hes absolutely smitten with the dragon born Edit: I'm absolutely in love with Kaidan Edit 2: will Kaidan look like this when he's done? What mods do you use? Your game looks absolutely amazing!

[@hanshotfirst5576]

Glad you like the additions! Um, mods I use. I have a pretty long list tbh, it’s 2200+. BUT, if you’re just after visuals, a really place to start is Nolvus mod list, I follow that pretty closely and just a few individual retextures and remeshes on top. Also pi-cho enb. This look for Kaidan is my personal replacer, it’s not part of the mod updates.

[@cookiebunbun1046]

My heart 😭 🥺

[@TITANN-117]

It's neat to see your videos progress. I wish this Kaidan replacer mod was on Xbox. I had to settle for the Keanu Reeves/John Wick mod. Also, did he start singing a Witcher song 🎵 Omg. Again your character looks amazing.

[@hanshotfirst5576]

haha yeah he does do a lil nod to the witcher (my fave show so i had to chuck it in there). And thank you.

[@lumanensoni5395]

I'm so excited for this I squealed out loud!!!! lol!

[@hanshotfirst5576]

im excited for you guys to have it too!

[@Shayoni]

ahhhh it's so cute

[@hanshotfirst5576]

sunhelm and also sunhelm cold are both supported!

Please get up, that’s not a video I can show on KZbin I’m already skirting a thin line with all the swearing.

[@cicero3895]

Kaidan singing >>>>

[@cintiadegp2]

THAT'S AMAZINGGGG, is it going to work with the one from creation club?

[@hanshotfirst5576]

yeah i think so. cc survival was crasking my CK for a bit but im gonna try and wrangle it into obedience.

[@cintiadegp2]

@@hanshotfirst5576 you have done such an amazing job with this mod, thank you so much for everything you have already released so far ♥️♥️♥️

[@malachiramel9516]

Well this is cute 🥰

[@TinaLynn]

I do have to say... I'm still not sure how I feel about Kai constantly telling me I look tired and am I ok... I mean.. my ego can't take all that... 🤣

[@RoseKeely]

I need your DB's hair and outfits and Kaidan's too. What mod also makes Kaidan sing?

[@Emotori7]

Question I have the same hair mod for kaidan and I saw some issue with it (it could be the replacer mod I'm using or it could be because it is being displayed as a wig but if not I need to know how to fix it) but does part of his ears disappear where it looks like he got holes in his head and and you can see through it? I mean you probably built the hair on him when you made your replacer for him but I still have to ask to find out if it happens to everyone or just me?

[@hanshotfirst5576]

it happens to everyone, i made a lot of personal edits to this style to make it work without the hairline looking ridiculous.

[@Emotori7]

@@hanshotfirst5576 ah ok lol

[@stevenhiggins3055]

Okay, forget Campfire and Frostfall! Carry weight restriction be dammed, next time I'm using Survival mode.

[@hanshotfirst5576]

This was a deceptive title lmao, I did ESL patches for a bunch of mod integrations, Sunhelm, Last Seed, iNeed. Doesn’t need CC Survival.

[@gabrielacruz233]

Question: is it available on Xbox? I really wanna know…

[@MinastaurielLithoniel2713]

Will those other mods be required, or will it work with the survival mode from vanilla game too?

[@gyronnax]

can i ask what mods are you using? i am curious

[@davidistvanovic]

Where can I find this Kaidan's replacer ?

[@hanshotfirst5576]

er, you cant, i made it and ive never published it.
